Patience Grasshopper, the mystical brown trout is truly a trophy & not like the ever agressive brookie or bow.
I love browns, next to a brookie, they are the most beautiful fish i've ever caught(my opinion).
Where do you fish? It's getting that time of year for the browns to go in a spawing mood, whether they accomplish it or not remains to be seen & they are a little less wary.
I'm not advocating fishing for spawing fish, they may be in the process of moving upstream for a spawn & you can generally catch them then. If they are in the process of making redds, leave them alone, please.
For big browns, Arkansas always fills my needs.
